SU Cyg: Orange in the finder; lighter in the scope.  Wide separation, 3 delta mag.

STT 390: Very wide, 2-3 delta mag.  A few other faint star actually closer in could be part of a system. [Four stars in system but not closer in than this...]

X Cyg: Must be in minimum it is much fainter than 17 Cyg.  Reddish orange in the finder, more yellow-orange in the scope.  No pair seen. [and no wonder; pairs are 16th and 18th mag.]
